Footnote

!* - a mix of collected traditions, based originally on the song "I Will Sing of the Mercies of the Lord Forever", composed by James H. Fillmore, based on Psalm 89:1. It looks like it had been  adjusted in Christian youth camps etc (as the Psalms enjoin us to “sing a new song to the Lord”) and the words “Mercies of the Lord forever” exchanged to “glory of the Lord come down”. Not knowing this, the two were stored in different parts of my memory, and this morning (after I sang it, while looking for words) I put them together, kept the chorus/bridge of the psalm, and added the other verses that grew out of the concept of God’s Glory being modelled or analogized by the sun, and God’s glory being exemplified in his Son (His anointed, Christened "Leader of Humanity") and God’s children now being encouraged to be filled with his spirit, the same spirit which filled his Son and has now been gifted to all his children to continue his display of his glory on Earth, as a real rendition of “the body of Christ”, on Earth, as in Heaven.
